        AN ACT to amend the general  business  law,  in  relation  to  requiring

     4  request  of a customer, make available a printed or tangible menu commu-
     5  nicating essential information about the beverages  and  food  available
     6  for  sale  by  such restaurant or licensee. Under no circumstances shall
     7  the only menu available be accessible  exclusively  through  digital  or
     8  online  means.  For the purposes of this section, the terms "restaurant"
     9  and "licensee" shall have the same meaning as those terms are defined in
    10  section three of the alcoholic beverage control law.
    11    § 2. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day  after  it  shall
    12  have become a law.
